    unfortunately the brazilian elites are incapable of learning and they’ll keep exporting soybeans with trucks until the heat death of the universe. and i assume a similar short termism exists everywhere in this continent

    the brazillian elite LOVE TO LOSE THEIR FUCKING SOY ON THE MOST DOGSHIT ROADS, IT is their favorite thing to do, like THEY WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY and still they don't wanna do trains it is fucking insane
